Solve Intelligence Acquires Palito.ai to Unify AI Patent Litigation and Prosecution in One Platform

Why litigation, and why now

When Solve launched Charts earlier this year, it did so because litigation workflows were one of the clearest places where AI could save IP teams serious time. Patent litigation teams do not need a generic AI assistant. They need software that can work claim by claim, document by document, and jurisdiction by jurisdiction, producing analysis that is structured, reviewable, and backed by citations. Mapping claim elements across dozens, hundreds, or thousands of documents, building structured arguments with proper citations, running portfolio-level analyses, or extracting insights from thousands of documents across a dispute: these are tasks that consume weeks of attorney time and lend themselves well to AI assistance.

The response from customers confirmed it. Firms and in-house teams reported that claim charting was one of the biggest bottlenecks in their practice. They also showed us where the gaps were around European litigation workflows involving the EPO, UPC, and German courts.

Palito has built excellent technology in exactly those areas.

'We built Charts because we saw how much time IP teams were losing on patent monitoring and litigation workflows, and the response from our customers confirmed that this is one of the most important applications in the industry,' said Chris Parsonson, CEO and Co-founder of Solve Intelligence. 'Palito has built excellent technology in areas like validity analysis and case law research that complement what we have already delivered. Bringing their capabilities into our platform means our customers get deeper, more powerful litigation tools in the same platform they already use for drafting, prosecution, and invention harvesting.'

What Palito brings

Palito built AI tools that allowed patent litigators to perform validity assessments, element-by-element claim analysis, and structured legal reasoning with sentence-level citations. Their focus was on German, EPO, and Unified Patent Court workflows, which are areas of growing importance as the UPC continues to reshape European patent enforcement.

Combined with Charts, Solve now covers the full spectrum of patent litigation analysis. Whether a team needs to build a 103 obviousness chart for US litigation, map SEP claims against 3GPP technical standards, assess validity under European law, or run a freedom-to-operate analysis across a product portfolio, they can do it within a single platform with consistent source citations throughout.

'We have watched Solve set the standard for AI-assisted patent drafting and then move into litigation with Charts. It was clear they shared our vision for what AI can do in this space,' said Dr Lukas Wollenschlaeger, founder and CEO of Palito.ai. 'Joining Solve means our technology reaches more IP teams, more quickly, and becomes part of a platform that covers the full patent lifecycle. That is exactly the impact we set out to have.'

A growing European presence

Key members of the Palito team are joining Solve and will be based in a new Munich office, strengthening Solve’s European presence. This matters for Solve’s customers. Having a team on the ground in one of Europe's key patent hubs means they can build litigation tools that reflect how European patent practice actually works, not just how it looks from the outside.

Solve already serves IP teams across six continents, including firms like DLA Piper and Perkins Coie, and in-house teams at companies like Siemens and Amgen. The Munich office adds to its ability to support European clients and stay close to the jurisdictions that matter most to them.

What this means for Solve customers

For existing Charts users, this acquisition means richer litigation capabilities arriving inside the product over the coming months. For teams working on European patent disputes or preparing for UPC proceedings, it means purpose-built tools grounded in EPO and UPC practice.

More broadly, this is part of how Solve is being built. Patent work does not happen in silos. Drafting flows into prosecution, prosecution flows into litigation, and litigation touches everything from prior art to claim construction. By covering the full patent lifecycle, from application drafting through to claim charting and litigation analysis in every jurisdiction, Solve Intelligence gives IP teams a single platform that works the way they do.
